These paintings by Alex Colville were painted in the ‘50s-‘70s, but look like computer graphics from the 2000s

This is kind of amazing.
I'm assuming this was done with heavy use of masking, possibly airbrush, and maybe other painting media? It "feels" like a collage, where every subject is just its own painting kind of composited into the whole. But that gives us completely subjective lighting to work with, which throws our senses for a loop. Just like how old computer graphics are collages of other discrete artworks, again, with no effort wasted on coherent lighting or shadows.
